Chapter 394
Chapter 394 He Had Always Hated Being Threatened!
As soon as Bianca arrived at T Corporation, she heard someone shouting anxiously in the lobby on the first floor. "Oh no! Someone is going to jump off the rooftop of Building C! It's Giovan Sonny, that business owner! Someone, help!”
Bianca's face turned pale in an instant. She wanted to follow the person out, but she noticed Luke.
"Mr. Sonny, that business owner, he's trying to kill himself at the rooftop of Building C now..." Bianca blurted. Her mind was blank.
Luke grabbed Bianca's wrist and said resolutely. "I know the whole story, don't worry. I'll deal with it. Don't go there."
He was afraid that Giovan, in his panic, would hurt innocent people, including Bianca.
"I promise I won't be in the way. Let's go over there now. It'll be bad if the situation worsens," Bianca said.
Luke saw that twas running out. He had no choice but to take Bianca with him.
T Corporation had four buildings, A, B, C, and D.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuke's office was in Building A, and Giovan was going to jump off Building C. Fortunately, the two buildings were not too far apart.
Under Building C, countless reporters were taking pictures with their long lenses and DSLRs, police officers were maintaining order, and there was a huge crowd of onlookers.
The firefighters had deployed an airbag.
Luke took Bianca into the CEO's personal elevator, went all the way to the top floor, and stepped out of the rooftop terrace.
Giovan was a middle-aged man with an elegant face. He had lost his beloved wife and child in the fire.
At that moment, he looked very sad. His unshaved beard made him look haggard.
He dangled both of his legs beyond the ledge. One wrong move, and he would be a pancake on the ground.
Giovan yelled out loud, "Get Luke Crawford here! Where is Luke? Get him out right now!"
When Bianca saw Giovan might topple over anytime, she got anxious and wanted to go forward to persuade him. However, Luke held her back. "Did you forget what you promised me? Leave this to me. Don’t go there!"
Bianca was so anxious that she was beading cold sweat. "We don’t have tto reason with him! He's very emotional right now, and if he accidentally falls, another life will be lost in this tragedy. Letgo over to persuade him and get him to cdown from the terrace before we continue talking..."
Til go!' Luke said imperiously.
Bianca could only take a step back and give sspace for Luke.
Luke walked onto the terrace. The T Corporation employees around him were relieved to see him.
They shouted at Giovan, "Mr. Sonny, Mr. Crawford is here! If you have anything to say, you can tell him! Mr. Crawford will help you!” "Yes, Mr. Sonny, cdown quickly! It’s too dangerous there!"
When Giovan saw Luke coming, he beceven more agitated and his legs moved a little closer to the edge. Everyone there was scared.
Giovan cried in abject despair as if he was abandoned by the whole world.
While crying, he cursed Luke, "Luke Crawford! You heartless developer! I’ve spent tens of millions to buy the high-end residence, Greenview Regalia, developed by your company, T Corporation! Who knew that the fire protection facilities and the property management were so bad. My wife and children were killed in the fire... Now they're all gone! Since you ruined my family, I also want to ruin your reputation!" "Mr. Sonny, all the media and reporters are under the office building right now. If you want to be tomorrow’s news headline and jump down, I won't stop you! Do you think that if you threaten me with death now, you’ll be able to get what you want?" Luke said cold.
"If you jump down, you will definitely die, and you'll be so disfigured beyond recognition. That indeed will be troublesand enough to keepbusy for a while, but then what? I just need to pull some strings and this whole issue will blow over. This incident will barely leave a dent in the reputation of T Corporation. And you? Not only your wife and children will not be avenged, but you'll also even lose your life! If you want to jump, then jump!"
Bianca could not believe what she just heard.
Luke did not show any sympathy to that person. Instead, he provoked him with such cruel words! Bianca had enough!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Giovan is on the brink of a breakdown. Does Luke really want to provoke him to jump?*
Bianca cautiously and softly persuaded, "Don't listen to him, Mr. Sonny. If you jump from here, you'll die. Your body won’t even be intact. Just cdown from the ledge first, okay? You have hope as long as you live. Don't you want to avenge your wife and child? Don't you want to see the murderer who killed them brought to justice? Let Mr. Crawford know if you have any conditions. Please coff the ledge, alright?"
Giovan glanced at Bianca. Before he could speak, he heard Luke speak indifferently, "Who do you think you are, Ms. Rayne? Do you think that you can make decisions for T Corporation's top management?"
Gentle persuasion might have worked better than direct provocation on a man who was about to kill himself.
Luke had never allowed anyone to threaten him through words. He wanted to start a negotiation with Giovan so that both parties would be satisfied.
However, that did not mean that Giovan could take the opportunity to threaten him.
He had always hated being threatened!
Bianca was exasperated, but she persisted, "Mr. Crawford, are you really going to let Mr. Sonny die? Hasn't he suffered enough?" "He’s not the only person in the world deserving of pity!” "But you've gone overboard! Don't you have any mercy in you, Luke?"
The employees of T Corporation were taken aback.
Bianca was the only one who dared to speak like that.
They were there to help Giovan, but why were the president and Bianca arguing between themselves instead?
The other people noticed that Giovan was distracted. They wanted to take the opportunity to pull him off the ledge. Giovan noticed what they were trying to do, and he suddenly lost his balance!
"Ah!" He let out a horrific yelp and fell off the building!
Bianca was standing the closest to him. She ignored everything and stretched out her hand at the most crucial moment! She managed to latch onto Giovan's falling body, but his weight pulled her over the ledge!
